Google Disbands AlphaFold Team, Shifts Focus to Gemini

Google has officially disbanded the team behind AlphaFold, the groundbreaking protein structure prediction system developed by DeepMind that earned its creators a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The move reflects Google's broader strategic shift toward its Gemini AI family of models. AlphaFold, launched in 2020, revolutionized computational biology by

How AI Is Becoming a Key Tool for Detecting and Reducing Methane Emissions

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and accurately tracking its sources has long been a challenge for climate scientists and regulators. Now, artificial intelligence is stepping in to improve how these emissions are detected and measured. AI systems can analyze vast amounts of data from satellites, ground-based sensors, and aerial

US Regulatory Shift: Environmental Safeguards for Space Industry Under Review

The United States is poised to scale back environmental safeguards governing the commercial space industry. The shift would affect the review processes that companies must complete before conducting launches, with implications for how environmental impacts are assessed in areas surrounding launch sites and launch operations. Current regulations require detailed environmental

Research Advances Space Farming Capabilities for Deep Space Missions

Developing reliable food production systems for space missions remains a critical hurdle as space agencies plan extended stays on the Moon and eventually Mars. Researchers are working on specialized growing systems designed to function in the challenging environments of other celestial bodies, where traditional agriculture is not viable. Space farming
